I don't know about the missus, but my three sons always ask me if I want any toys they are gonna throw out or are tired of. God bless their little hearts.

@Dave, it would appear that both your threads fell off my subbed list. How does that happen?

I am so building some of those for my table......

my boys tend to fall over themsleves too to give me their stuff... but i have sworn to myself that i wont touch lego...or playmobil...because once you use it...there is little stopping...and soon you are knee deep in all so versatile bitz and the kids have to look at empty crates where in earlier times happy colorful lego brick would have waited for their use...their true purpose that is...

Well, the true purpose of Lego is to build stuff vik...

Speaking of which I saw a couple of cool lego trucks today, I'll try and get pics up on my blog later.

in essence that is true...^^ and i can´t bring myself to argue with you^^

Look back a few pages Max, all the WIPs for the Vending Machine are there. I think several of my readers unsubscribed when I let the OT crap last about 30 pages- my bad everybody, sorry.

I did not UNSUB, just so you know. for some reason I am finding that several of my subs are gone.

There was also a great Nautilus, chock full of rivets And I got some pics of some nice shiny brass piston, beam engines and the like vik

hmmm... will check in on your thread then...seems we are all in for some eyecandy!


thankfully no subs of mine ever got unsubed...

And I love the OT stuff..

But I know of a cheaper styrene sheet provider on the sheet styrene, maybe:

www.usplastics.com

You can get a 40"x72" sheet of .040 for $14.00. it comes in one sheet, though and is half the price for three quarters the amount. It boils down to whether or not you wanna be bothered to cut it up for storage and whether or not you ever need a sheet larger than 24"x24". Personally, I order the large sheet hack it up into squares for the shelve and go for a long time without buying.

how thick is said sheat? in mm for preference?

.508mm. They also have .080 and below. They don't have any tubing or rod, though, so I still have to order from my other provider.

hmmm... i have to keep those in mind...there is never enough PC in da house^^

by the way... dave... about new terrain ideas... just saw this on a picsearch coming up...:



how is that for a worthy followup for your vending machine? of course already fully blown up....

Oooh, nice, I was looking for something as a loot counter. Gotta steal me that safe idea... but intact then
Maybe a couple blown up to indicate the loot has been picked up

Great find Vik

thanks mate...you could make a complete bank... would be a cool setting for a special table...complete with chairs, counter and sofas...

The complete bank ya mean, complete with interior? Now thats an idea
But how does one incorporate rivets?

Steel Vault walls always have rivets.....

aye...and see daves sig...there is a quote from me...^^

"Hey with rivets you can never go too far"
- Viktor Von Domm

^^

Stop, before you guys turn me into a believer whahahaaaa

Oh, and Dsteingass, thanx for linking to my blog in yours. Good to see I too can inspire people. Thanx for that. Keep up the good work here!

Anytime bro! I am obviously a terrain geek first!

Safes are a great idea Vik! Especially the opportunity to make all the cook locking and turning bitz

So, tonight I braved the snow-covered roads and came back with a minor, but important supply drop.

2 10mm masking tape refills (hazard stripes are fun to paint!)
I also found some 6mm! Tamiya Masking tape (smaller hazard stripes!)
2 sheets of textured plasticard (O Gague dressing stone/block)
2 more airbrush paint bottles

I got to hold an Iwata professional grade DETAIL top-feed airbrush (the competition to the badger Renegade Krome I posted earlier) in my hand. It has a .3mm needle, just like the Badger, and It REALLY does just have that high-quality feel in your hand, the trigger feels like it is part of your finger, and when you touch it, you just KNOW it will do exactly what you want it to do. I think it is a psychic weapon of Slaneesh actually

I was VERY close to telling her to ring it up for me, but I waffled, the Badger is about $60 cheaper AND comes with 2 needles. The manual was mostly in Japanese, so it was worse than the Badger Model 150 manual.

It is clearly plain that I will need a second, detail airbrush, they can paint smaller than a pencil line, but I am undecided.

Interesting note on that model 150 dstein - picked up this years Hobbys catalouge today, and among the airbrushes is the Badger 150 - shown with tat extra adjustment screw

WTF, It seems like the most unpossible fail!

I chuckled

Besides the tiny needle/nozzle-This is the feature that I need most, the needle limiter!


And the Badger comes in a weapons-grade case!

Including RIVETED hardware

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I got a bottle of Liquid Masking stuff too. That will be fun to play and spray with! Think of the weathering possibilities!

Thanks for the link will check that out I am sure their must be some where in the UK thats does PC in large sheets but its finding them what kind of search do you think I should use in google to try tried some but come up blank

I like the bank vault idea build that and a washing machine you can ask Monkeytroll for one of his brass portholes with glazing as the front door part

That airbrush looks pretty nifty with the adjustable head must get one mine is ok for large are spraying and thats about it

Now stop yapping and build

Hmmm, now he is armed with Badgers!
